The world is going green, some gadgets will get back to the primitive way of sourcing power, which many of them have employed the wind-up method.
Here comes a wind-up shaver, PowerPlus Piranha, which the handiness is it needs no replacement of batteries. There are good and bad about this wind-up shaver. The good side will be you don’t have to search around for batteries in the early morning when its batteries have gone flat. The bad side, you’ll need wind the crank when it’s run out of power. But winding seems to be too much effort in the early morning, when it’s hard for you to lift your heavy eye lids.
It says it needs just a few turns of winding its crank, then you can continue to shave. The internal dynamo will charge its internal batteries which should be good enough for you to finish a full shave, by only making a few turns of winding the crank. If winding sounds too much effort in the early morning, you’ll also have the option to get it charged via a plug.
It sounds like a good idea, especially handy for frequent travelers, which you don’t have to bring along a power cord, so what you need to do is to hand crank it to get charged up for a full shave.
* Shaving time after 1 minute winding: 1 to 2 minutes
* Trimmer time after 1 minute winding: 1 minute
* Shaving time fully charged: > 60 minutes
* Trimmer time fully charged: 45 minutes
* Charging time full charged: 8 hours
